Former Aviation minister, Femi Fani-Kayode and former presidential spokesperson, Reno Omokri have reacted to the comments of Mohammad Tawhidi, a reformist Imam.
Mr Tawhidi is a Muslim influencer who has been embraced by a number of centrist Islam groups and anti-Islamic extremism groups. The Islamic cleric, on Friday, accused Mr Buhari of being complicit in various terrorist attacks.
He also mocked the President’s pronunciation of Covid-19 as ‘Covik one nine”, which according to him, shows that Buhari has not been proactive in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
“The President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari still doesn’t know the name of the virus killing 24,000+ at such a rapid rate. Addressing the nation about it for the first time, he pronounced the virus as ‘COVIK 1-9’,” He wrote on Friday morning.
The criticism was however heightened when he blasted those supporting the President’s inactions.
“Whoever supports Buhari is not only foolish but also responsible for his crimes regardless of their nationality. I’m not even Nigerian and I am standing up for Nigerians.”
“I’ll say it again: Whoever voted for Buhari, especially for the second time after seeing his failures to crack down on terrorists, is 100% stupid, foolish and irresponsible. Victims of terrorism due to Buhari’s incompetence don’t care about minority or majority votes. Wake up.”
Messrs Fani-Kayode and Omokri aired their opinions on the matter on Friday evening.
Mr Fani-Kayode wrote: “@Imamofpeace has focused his attention on @MBuhari & his goons, made a fool of them and taken them to the cleaners. Nigeria has become the butt of cruel jokes & a laughing stock because our President has disappeared into thin air. Where are the Bubu-lovers now? WE WARNED YOU!”
Mr Omokri, in his reaction, said it is ‘idiotic’ to defend President Buhari’s silence on Coronavirus.
“Dear Nigerians, Leave @ImamofPeace alone. It is idiotic to defend a President who left you defenceless while you face the worst public health crisis Nigeria has ever faced. Let General @MBuhari and his sides come out of hiding to defend themselves,” He stated.
POLITICS NIGERIA had earlier reported how Presidential Personal Assistant, Bashir Ahmad and an APC Chieftain attacked Mr Tawhidi in defence of Mr Buhari.
These are foolish people defending an incompetent, dead leader who has no clue of what is happening around him.
Their evil deed will come hunting after them!
